Justice Department says Mueller report 'does not exonerate' President

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler announced that President Donald Trump was not exonerated by special counsel Robert Mueller's report but it also 'does not conclude that the president committed a crime.'

“The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,’” he wrote on Twitter.

The Department of Justice “determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgement,' he added.

Attorney General William Barr released the 'principal conclusions' from Robert Mueller's Russia probe to Capitol Hill at approximately 3:45 pm today, according to reports.

Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein arrived at the Justice Department Sunday morning to finish their work in summarizing Mueller's report for lawmakers.

While they worked, Mueller attended church Sunday a mere 500 feet from the White House.   

Mueller and his wife were spotted at St. John's Episcopal Church, the yellow stucco house of worship across Lafayette Park from the White House where President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump attended service last Sunday. 

Trump, his family, and his inner circle remained in Palm beach, Florida, ahead of an expected return to Washington before sunset.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler said on 'Fox News Sunday' that he has not heard anything from the Justice Department how detailed a summary of Mueller's findings he will see. 

Nadler will be one of the first lawmakers to receive it, in his role as chairman. 

Trump returned to Twitter on Sunday for the first time since Mueller handed his report to Barr, but offered a cheerful greeting instead of a pronouncement a 'witch hunt' coming to a conclusion. 

Trump's deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley confirmed that as of Sunday morning, the White House had not yet received or been briefed on the findings from the special counsel's investigation of Russia's role in the 2016 election.

'Good Morning, Have A Great Day!' the president wrote from his Mar-a-Lago resort club, where he was spending a long weekend with first lady Melania Trump and their son Barron.

'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,' he added..

The president played a round of golf at his Trump International course on Sunday morning.
